M1860 US Naval Cutlass, Year 1862 - Early Civil War,
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:331522 | Country/Region of Manufacture: United States |
This is the real deal. I do not have any authenticating paper work however I have researched this item as well as a local Museum and a few relic collectors have verified it too.
M1860 US Naval Cutlass, Stamped 1862 on Blade, the year it was commissioned. Serial No. 8M184, which actually means 8, 184.The "M" means 1, 000th. This is a very low serial number. Only 25, 000 U.S.N. Cutlass's were made to order by the Navy as opposed to the Light Cavalry version in the 100's of Thousands. ...It would have been issued with an All-Leather Scabbard and the Belt attachment "frog". Both are missing and presumed deteriorated, rotted, or lost, as the Cutlass is over 157 years old.
I will either ship this with USPS Priority Mail or Federal Express.
